Football Rumours Archive July 16 2007

I have heard that the Hammers would only listen to offers of Wanyne Brdge + £2 million for Noble, with a 15 percent sell on Clause.

I have it from a good reliable source close to the Liverpool camp that Benitez will stun the world again with bids for two players and it will be no other that D. Alves and Quaresma.

Liverpool have sent a bid to Sevilla for D. Alves for £17 million and a bid to Porto for Quaresma for £17 million.

Sheff United to sign Kevin Phillips. Robson sees him as the ideal player to compliment our forwards and it's belived that we will test West Bromwich Albion resolve by offer £1 million. Gravesen is looking less likely as he wants to fight for his place. Trialist Perrier–Doumbe is about to sign, Robson was impressed with his trial and is looking to add him to our squad. Finally SUfc are looking for a Attacking Midfielder and a Midfield Playmaker. Danny Webber will not be leaving due to him been told that he will be playing even if it's out on the wing.

Eboue to AC Milan in £11.5 million deal

Liverpool will buy one more player which will be manu defender Heinze to become the first player in forty years to make the switch between the two clubs firgie stated that he would not stand in the players way.

Arsenal will not sign boca junours forward as he will atempt to sign queresma from Porto for 17.5 million (26 million euros) also he will make a £11 million bid for Richards expect big things from Arsenal this season.

Baines 2 Everton for £5 million. i have been told Moyes will not give up on the scouser, he feels he's the only decent buy left in the market and at that price tag it's a steel. there is going to be more deals in the next two weeks with Downing moving to Goodison and Beattie+ £4.5 million going to the north east. Moyes also wants roman Riquelme and with the Copa America finishing Riquelme will now listen to the offers open to him, with Everton, Newcastle, Juve and Atletico are his likely destinations. Juve will offer a big wage packet and most are most likely to convince the argentine his future lies with them.

Newcastle targets;

LB; Queudrue, Baines, shorey, Tiawo, Heinze (Bridge is no longer a target due to hip injury)

CB; Interest in Chivu as player has become unsettled at Roma due to players agent failing to get him a deal at Madrid.

RB; Miguel, Sagna, Fanni.

S. A is hoping to tie up deals for Queudrue and Fanni as they are represented by the same agent. M. A is hoping to bring in a big name signing (Deco, Raul) but S. A is happy with his midfield and forwards and wants to concentrate on ensuring the defense is sound. If a big name is signed it will be M. A's decision and pushed through because it will be deemed important for the profile of the club and to boost merchandise sales. Expect S. A to battle Tottenham for the signature of Leeds Uniteds' Rose.

Crystal Palace will make an audacious attempt to sign Plymouth duo Matt Doumbe and Paul Wotton.

Meanwhile 16 year old Lewis Edwards of the Plymouth youth academy is being touted for big things.

Crystal Palace will confirm the termination of contract of Victor Moses on Friday after the highly rated forward broke a 7th curfew at the club. Tipped for a bright future Moses is believed to have caused severe disruption amongst the Palace camp and the club have had no choice but to agree to termination of contract.

James Beattie on loan to Easteigh town Fc, the New chairman is an old friend of Beattie, apparently he has a large consortium backing Eastleigh to be the New Colne Dynamoes and Rushden and Diamonds. This loan is with a view to a permanent move for around 500,000. Moyes just wants to get rid as he knows that Beattie is just another Lead weight around his neck. Beatttie was seen with his agent walking out of the hotel/wine bar opposite Eastleigh Fc wih his agent on Saturday morning before Eastleigh played Southampton.

Unfortunately Arsenal have clinched the signing of Rodrigo Palacio, the new Gabriel Batistuta. This guy scores goals for fun. I was hoping Chelsea would sign him. Reports are that they are closing in on a few more Argentinean youngsters too, particularly a hotly chased winger. I am gutted. Rodrigo Palacio scores with every part of his body.

Liverpool FC final transfers of the Summer

1. Heinze for a fee of £6.1 million to be agreed by Friday

2. Ricardo Quaresma will finnally join in a £15.8 million six year deal this will only happen if Roma refuse to part company with Mancini which reports are he's using our interest to gain a better contract

3. a number of youth recruits will join Roberts from Tranmere Rovers is one and another could be micheal Johnson from Manchester City in a £2.5 million deal

reporting from swizerland. weathers nice.

Well Mr Wenger has done it again Rodrigo Palacio oh yes your all saying Rod who but watch this guy go Top Top player in Argentina but Boca who are cash strapped were forced to sell there prized assett £15 million a new Arsenal transfer record and he will be given the number 14 shirt FC Barcelona wanted him just days before they were told Henry would be available but did not have room for both. Quick strong two footed and heads the ball there is a bonus spending is almost finnished now just an Angel on the wings to add Angel di Maria oh and we now have first option on a Giovanni Dos Santos who Arsenal are speaking too after the under 21 championship this was again part of the Henry deal. Sad to see Henry go and thanks for all the wonderful memories but seems to me we got a good deal for a guy who is 30 next month and who's body has started to creak a little bit with long term injuries

Ronaldinho to Newcastle come on that is the most stupid rumour ever.

What would any footballer given the chance want to do either stay at FC Barcelona, move to AC Milan or move to Newcastle, lets be fair it is not and never will be mone to Newcastle.

Even if Newcastle offer Bercelona £100,000.000 and they accept who says Ronaldinho would want to go to Newcastle? Cannot see it?

Premier League top 5 prediction

1–Man United

2–Liverpool

3–Chelsea

4–Tottenham

5–Arsenal

Man United to get Tevez

Arsenal to sign a couple of young stars

Liverpool spending for spendings sake

Chelsea good squad already maybe one more player.

= d4=

I do not actually have a rumour however I do have a question, someone said the other week that Milan would sign Samir Nasri, to me this does not make sense as berlusconi stated the other week that he would not pay £10 million for pato because he said it was not written that he would become the next Kaka, the fee quoted I think was around £6 million, think about it Madrid are after Nasri along with a few other clubs which could push his fee above £10 million, it is not written on the wall that he will become the next Zidane or Kaka either so therefore it seems unlikely. Also too it said that Gourcuff and Nasri would make a dream attack alongside Kaka, how could this be considering that Gourcuff never gets a game so then that could possibly turn Nasri off moving to Milan. I do not have the inside knowledge that the person who posted this rumour may have had but it just seems unlikely to me

Everton to sign Baines for £5.5 million and Beattie to leave for £4 million with Blackburn and Middlesbrough chasing him, when he's gone expect Everton to splash the cash on another forward, probably from Europe

Heard that Rafa was on the look out for a centre back with canavaro being top of his list as manu will not let Heinze leave for Liverpool, Arsenal will bid £12 million for Richards + Mark randal on lone to test Manchester City and the players comitments failing this Curtis Davis will be brought in for a fee of around £8 million, manus atempts to bring Tevez will be ongoing as the Hammers will not let him go without some sort of cominsation i.e Alan Smith going the other way, robin will not leave Chelsea and Alves will be brought in for around £18 million

It looks like Liverpool FC will be matching Chelsea's bid for Seville's Daniel Alves. Crouch will stay at the club.

Deco will not move to Newcastle, Juve are interested in him, and it's likely to be them. Van de Vaart may well be on his way to the Newcastle though.

The Tevez deal is unraveling fast, and if it is not complete within a week, I cannot see it go through at all. An approach may then be made by Sir Alex for Wagner Love, who's been quietly impressive for Brazil.

Tottenham have bid £4.5 million for Freddy Adu which could mean that Lennon is on his way to Chelsea.

Lyon are after Guily of Barcelona, and Hugo Viana of Valencia, and are looking at Zapater.

Milan are attempting to buy Ronaldinho, but are more likely to get Eto'o.

Manchester City have bid for Stewart Downing and have tried to load Shaun Wright–Phillips from Chelsea.

There is more here, but if I tell all now, I will not have anything to write tomorrow, and where's the fun in that.

Love from Howard the moneyman

I work as a football agent and with Liverpool and a number of clubs in the north west and Spain. Liverpool are not looking at another major signing but taking a risk on a number of up and coming talent. the latest is Robbie garrett. a young left winger.

Arsenal will not sign anyone else. no Martins. No Palacio?. No Davies or Richards. It's not Wengers way. If Carlos Vela can get a work permit, expect him to shine this season. RVP to bang em in and expect Adebayor to shock a few people with 15+ goals, and Bentdner will slam a couple too.

LFC news:

Mancini was never coming to Liverpool. Rafa pulled out interest a long time ago when he realised the player's desire was money. His agent is using Liverpool's name to get the ball rolling and broker him a new deal.

Quaresma wants somewhere hot to play his football, so nothing there too.

Expect very BIG news towards the end of the transfer window.

A bid in place for a certain Juve youth player too.

Rafa is playing a great game of poker; constantly playing off agents, and misleading rivals.

It's the Rafulation as 'Trina' Benitez leads on.

putting the record straight

– There is absolutely no chance of Fabio Cannavaro joining Newcastle. None whatsoever. He is used to playing in the Champions League and challenging for titles, swapping this for the North East is simply not going to happen.

– No Premier League club will sign Quaresma

– Adriano will not sign for any Premier League club

– Now that the Copa America has finished expect Chelsea to push for Daniel Alves, probably paying around £17 million.

I am not saying this will happen, but I think Arsenal should go to CSKA Moscow and buy Vagner Love and Daniel Carvalho for a combined fee. Love is an out and out hard working forward who can finish, and would thrive on the service he would recieve. Daniel Carvalho is a top–class winger. He has an unbelievable shot and tremendous creativity. He could be the spark player Arsenal need along with Eduardo. Also, Juan or Alex would be great signings, as Brazil proved during the Copa America that they have a top–class defense. Cannavaro would certainly be another great option to replace Senderos. But back to my main point. Whenever Carvalho plays agaisnt a big team, or in a big game, like against Arsenal in the Champions League or Liverpool in the UEFA super cup two years ago, he has been the best player on the field, and scored a wonder goal or played countless wonderful passes. He certainly will become a superstar if he moves to a big club like Arsenal, or even FC Barcelona or Milan. Vagner love has the potential to be a great goalscorer, especially with Arsenal's service.

Birmingham City are chasing Juan Roman Riquelme around £7 million fact

Sven Will sign six more players in the close season. These include Kewell, Mascherano, Hyypia, Motta and two more.

Rangers will sign naismith and will take Darren barr from Falkirk.

Rafa to chose between Mancini and Quaresma, once this happens we could see a transfer merry go round that could see Riise leave for either Manchester City or Newcastle and Heinze/Baines taking his place

Barnesjunior777

I'm a Middlesbrough fan and happen to be a friend of an important person within Middlesbrough Football Club.

We are trying to agree a fee with Boca Juniors for Argentinian superstar Juan Roman Riquelme. We have offered a fee of £5 million but Boca want more, however, we have lots of money to spend so it shouldn't be a problem. He is surprisingly willing to join Middlesbrough after his desire to rejoin another European club. 'Exciting times' at Middlesbrough will be confirmed when we confirm the signing of Riquelme and also Gretar Steinsson, who is expected to sign next week after encouraging talks with his club, AZ Alkmaar. Middlesbrough are also interested in Wilhelmsson of Rennes, although we must fend off competition from Manchester City, who are showing an interest in Yakubu, and are trying to agree a fee with Boro, although we are demanding a hefty £12 million. If a fee is agreed, Yakubu will leave and Middlesbrough will look at Beattie, Smith and Zamora.

Hi,

my best mate said his Dad got a Valencia shirt for him because while he was over there he did hear that David Villa was Anfield bound but remember it was not my rumour but Torres–Villa strike partner ship would rip Europe open

Arsenal Rumours

Arsenal rumours again and watch the space about Yohann Gouffran and Angel Di Maria. I have some more news however this is not exclusive as it has already been mentioned, Rodrigo Pallacio will officially sign for Arsenal this week as far as I am aware his is scheduled to have a medical on Tuesday 17th July, though that bit of a news is an exclusive. I assure you this deal will go through however please wait until Thursday for it to be offically announced, if it has not happened by then, then you guys can slate me. ;)

GoOnEr 4 LyF

Celtic

Celtic are still in the market for 3 to 4 big signings, dependant upon Champions League Qualification. The positions are Striker, Central Midfield (Subject to Gravesen and Jarosik being sold) and Centre Back (Subject to Balde being sold).

Dependant upon European progression, money may be avalable for a big January move.

Roy Keane and Niall Quinn have already said they have been doing business quietly and the right way. Well as Keane is still learning, he is getting favours from his old clubs (Man United and Celtic).

Shaun Maloney is unsettled at Villa and although Celtic would have him back, he likes the Premier League, expect him to sign £1.5 million.

Also, Bobo Balde was a good friend of Keane's, and is another player who would like to play in the Premier League, expect him to sign £2 million.

As you will already know Richardson £5.5 million is on his way, also Darren Fletcher will sign on a season long loan.

Staying in Scotland though, Keane will swoop for Graig Gordon £8 million and Derek Riordan £3 million as he has first hand experience of their talents.

One English transfer that is still on the verge is Leighton Baines, as Wigan look set to splash another £4 million out on Harewood, they need some income to cover so he could sign for £5 million.

Total spending £ £25 million + £4.5 million for Hlford and Anderson. Out though is Connoly £1 million, John £500,000, Hysen £2.5 million and Fulop £1.25 million, so Total is £24. £25 million.

A good starting 11 if signings go through.

Arsenal Rumour

Arsenal have had a bid accepted for Rodrigo Palacio. Medical on Tuesday.

Red and White Army

Liverpool spending not over still in talks with manchini representatives regarding £13 million move to Anfield, gabby Heinze will buy out his contract at Man United due to fact he has his heart set on move to Liverpool and will come for £6.5 million, with gabby Milito joining FC Barcelona an alternative is sol campbeel on 18 month contract with a view of signing Steven talor from Newcastle at end of next season, Quaresma still an option for Rafa if manchini deal falls through

It is expected that Moyes will raid Man United for Wes Brown and Alan Smith, when the club return from America. Chris Gunter will sign an pre–contrat and join later in the year in a deal similar to Lukas Jukiewicz. Away from rumours watch out for Steve Morrison, Jack Rodwell, John–Paul Kissock and Kieran Agard next season.

More Arsenal Rumours

Good news for Gooners. Arsene will sign a contract extension but not until the new year.

Fab is staying and the kids are alright.

Valeri Bojinov is on the market and Arsene might fancy a bid £5– £7 million should do it.

I am hard core gooner fan from Narm I have heard from a friend of an agent that Cutis Davis will sign for £9 + players going on loan to West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday be ready gooners he's the new Sol Cambell we will also make a move for Richards of Manchester City but I think he will stay as Sven starts his re building job.

Fabolus Cesc is going no where he will lead us to the title this season with our fox in the box DUDU he will set the league alite this season as for Tottenham I hear Sol man is on his way back as he was KEANE on BENT.

ARSENAL rumours

We are going to sell Ljunberg. that is why Wenger's going to sign a young winger. we have signed Sagna, nordtveit (ever heard of him? ), fabianski, Edu. he's going to be great. he scored 34 goals in 32 games for dinamo zegreb so imagine what he can do in EPL. Expect Babtista to go to Galatasary. Gallas is going to leave. We might sign a new central midfield.

And those who expect Ronnie to go to Newcastle, well you have got no chance.

Reading could complete the signing of Nantes midfielder Emerse Fae for £2.75 million. The Ivorian is desperate to leave the Ligue 2 side.

Boca Juniors attacker will sign for Reading for £7 million, when the peace cup ends.

Atletico Madrid winger Martin Petrov has emerged as a target for Reading.

= v1=

Swedish left–back Edman will sign for Reading.

Reading will complete the following signings when they return from Korea:

Liam Rosenior (Fulham) £3 million

Justin Hoyte (Arsenal) £2 million

Billy Jones (Crewe) £1 million

Dave Vaughan (Crewe) £300 k

Maynard (Crewe) £1.3 million

Arsenal are going to sign di maria after the under 20 cup for a undisclosed fee, this will come from the funds which Wenger hopes to sign gouffran from first

Arsenal will not be signing Davies as he is overrated and after buying in nordveit and Gallas being fit again he Arsene sees no need for another centre back

he does though hope to buy a experienced player for the team but not a overated one

Arsenal have fully replaced Henry with Eduardo who will bang in the goals, and with the captancy of Brazil star Gilberto Silva so there is nothing to worry about

– Tottenham or Newcastle will be 10– 20 points behind guarantee

next year

So why did everyone laugh when I suggested that the big name that Sam was after in his new Newcastle defense was Fabio Cannavaro. Now I have seen it in a few papers and a few of the Spanish sheets that Martins is heading to Madrid and Robinho is heading the other way.

In regards to the supposed Deco deal and the fact that FC Barcelona will not let Deco go because they haven't signed Riquelme is crazy. Riquelme had such a terrible time at FC Barcelona the first time around. Thats not going to happen.

Newcastle will go crazy this Summer and sign Deco as Lampard is going o FC Barcelona, Raul, and they have made an enquiery about ronaldinhio but FC Barcelona want 58 million for him

–toon army 4 life–

On the back of an unsuccessful campaign last year, Walter Smith is going all out to assemble a squad capable of competing with all that the Scottish Premier League and Champion's League has to throw at us. Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker will both sign at some point this week for a combined fee of £3.5 million and will complete the Summer spending.

I have read the rumours on this site about Angel Di Marea and Rodrigo Palacio being on their way to the Arsenal. So I decided to look them up on wikipedia and it states there that Palacio has got his medical on Tuesday and that Angel will meet up with team after U20 World Cup. Not sure how much truth there is about th rumours but they hold more strength now that I have read them on wikipedia. Look it up for yourselves

Luton are to become Arsenal's feeder club today

Arsene Wenger will quit soon due to lack of funds

Lippi to take Arsenal job when Wenger goes

lawal of Vejle Boldklub to sign for Madrid

sam sodje will retire due to bordem

Manchester City will sign the following:

Thiago Motta Barcelona (£3 million)

Ludovic Giuly FC Barcelona (5 million)

Steven Pienaar Borussia Dortmund (£4.5 million)

Yakubu Ayegbenyi Middlesbrough (£12)

Christian Wilhelmsson Nantes (£2 million)

Emerse Fae Nantes (£2.5 million)

Manuel Da Costa PSV Eindhoven (£4 million)

Riquelme moving to Newcastle or Everton. why would he do that. He does not want to move to England for family reasons. So that will not be happening and also he is moving back to Spain with either one of the Madrid sides. Also why would Ronaldinho swap Barcelona for Newcastle. Deco will not be moving to Newcastle either there too much of a SMALL club for him to join. so that is out of the question, and Real Madrid will not swap Robinho for Oba Martins because Bernd Shcuster has already said he is not going anywhere.

With all the money be spent by the likes of Tottenham, Portsmouth, and what will be spent by Aston Villa and Manchester City, My prediction is that Everton are surley to be relegated after spending £4 million on some player who could not help save his side from relegation. The result is likely to be the same for Everton especially with such a crowded fixture list. So the could look forward to Championship football in the 2008/09 season.

So that is all from the man with all the football knowledge trying to share it with his peers.

Sunderland are rubbish

Sunderland will sign Richardson, Gordon, and a top class centre half and forward very soon. As for the toffee who thinks his club is bigger and has more ambition? Just walk around the SOL and then Goodison. I rest my case.

To all those concerned, do not be. Arsene knows best let him do his job. We will finish in the top 4 with ease. Stevie G 'the original' was spot on with his evaluation of the top 4 situation.

A. Because every other team are not as good on paper as the top 4 (Tottenham are the only team close).

B. None of the other 16 teams are as consistent as the Top 4 (Tottenham could not string a 10 game unbeaten run together if their wages depended on it).

We did it last year virtually without Henry, we were fine until V. Persie was injured, and we can do it again.

My top 4

1. Man United

2. Liverpool

3/4. Chelsea/Arsenal

Man United Will take some beating and I cannot see the smaller teams taking any points off of them, consistency will determine the league, and they are the most bankable team out of the top 4.

Judgement on signings:

For the future. Hargreave and Tevez will make an immediate impact; do not expect anything from Nani or Anderson for at least two seasons. Both will come good eventually.

Liverpool Will need time to gel but individual talent/ability will get them through, expect them to be in the final 4 in Europe.

Judgement on signings:

Torres overrated and not what Liverpool need. They needed Villa (24 goals in 37 games) would've suited their style of play, would've scored more goals and is a better player. They need a natural goal scorer and 14 goals in 40 games does not spell prolific to me.

Babel good player in a team not suited to his style. Another Weird signing in my book but, maybe Rafa's looking to play more free–flowing football next season. Voronin seems a squad player, same for Benayoun. Leto a good buy, although not ready for first team action.

Chelsea Are falling a part, they need to steady the ship. Especially since there 2 best players of last season will be off to the African Nations in January. No Drogba or Essien for 5wks spells trouble. Robben off, who will put them on a plate for Lampard? The only bright spark in the storm is the imminent arrival of Alves. Hats off to Diarra for putting footballer ambition before financial gain, by not signing his new contract, he's a good player stifled by an over populated and over paid midfield. Obviously Chelsea only buy midfielders. Lampard, Shaun Wright–Phillips, Ballack, Essien, Diarra, Joe Cole, Robben, Makelele, Malouda, Sidwell, Obi Mikel. What Mourinho is planning to do with 11 midfielders only god knows. Good luck Sidwell.

Judgement on signings:

Fruitless. Malouda, unless Robben is sure to go, is surplus to requirement, return to sender. Sidwell, why? He is not any better than the midfield players they already have. Pizarro, ummm. was it because he was free, was he a prize at a raffle? Ben Haim is the only sensible signing Mourinho has made.

Arsenal Will surprise everyone. Not only are they not going to the feel the effects of Henry leaving to the extent that everyone has predicted, they will be better. Expect V. Persie to shine, Dudu to sneak in with the tap–ins Walcott to play regularly on the right, Sagna to be first choice RB. They will drop less needless points against team in the bottom half of the table, that just kick the rubbish out of them.

Judgement on signings:

Dudu exactly the player they needed, but can he be as prolific in the Premier League? Sagna quality, not sure what will come of Eboue and Hoyte but Sagna is better than both. Fabianski, needed a goalkeeper desperately but am not sure if he's the man for the job. Nordviet have seen very little of him, no comment.

On to transfer rumours

Chelsea will get Alves it's just a waiting game.

Liverpool to spend needless money on Mancini, and maybe Quaresma.

Man United to tie up Tevez and shut up shop.

Arsenal have signed Di Maria just have not confirmed it. I seriously doubt any more forwards, as they are not necessary. Bendtner needs to given a chance, as does Walcott, V. Persie will be first choice along with Dudu or Adebayor. Martins is a definite no as he will go to African nation in January along with Adebayor. Palacio, this is news to me. I would much rather Castillo, He would be cheaper too. But I do seriously doubt Arsene Wenger will buy another forward, especially since Vela qualifies for and Spanish passport in January. Ins will more than likely be Davies, and Yoan Gouffran, who will be loaned back to Caen. Expect Richards and Modric in the January transfer window.

Nedz14

Francis Jeffers will join Leicester for £1 million

Liverpool will not be signing Mancini as this is a smokescreen for another winger, you guess who?

Karim Benzima has signed for Arsenal from Lyon for £4 million pounds.

I am the font of all knowledge from a Sunderland message board and have a great track record of predicting Sunderland signings before they happpen.

I can exclusively reveal that Leighton Baines is having a medical tommorow.
